[Rhodes22-list] CenterBoard Angle

[Mary Lou Troy]

Bud,
I think it's just about vertical. Unless you are sailing in a very 
weedy area, I don't think having the pennant exposed is a problem. 
It's just as likely to get fouled by growth in the slot. Our's seems 
to stay cleaner the more we use it. We always pull the board up at 
anchor or when we leave the boat in the slip but sailing upwind it is 
always down as far as it will go. As Wally said, as we move off the 
wind we start pulling the board up.
